Riot Games was founded in 2006 by Brandon Beck and Marc Merrill with the intent to change the way video games are made and supported for players. In 2009, Riot released its debut title League of Legends to worldwide acclaim. The game has since gone on to become the most played PC game in the world and a key driver of the explosive growth of esports. Players are the foundation of our community and it’s for them we continue to evolve and improve the League of Legends experience. Riot Games is headquartered in Los Angeles, CA and has 23 offices worldwide. Riot’s Talent Discipline has a shared identity of caring deeply about the player experience - it’s our mission to build a work environment where Rioters can do their best work for players. We demonstrate our craft knowledge in the human resources field, whether it is sourcing, hiring, performance management, total rewards, or learning and development to support Riot Games. That's where you come in.

As Talent Partners, we do not act as a compliance function and we don’t make decisions from an ivory tower. Instead, we focus our energy on business needs, carefully listening to the problem spaces, and working with Rioters to get to an optimal outcome. We view ourselves as trusted consultants and advisors, with a specific expertise in all things “HR”. Working in Talent at Riot enables you to redefine what positive human resources practices are. We reimagine events, on-boarding, perks, and communications so they deeply resonate with our gamer workforce.

You will conduct exit interviews and periodic exit analyses, providing key themes to leadership. You may also serve as a point of contact for employee relation matters, as needed, and assist with documentation. Additionally, you will establish and maintain an intimate understanding of product and discipline needs in order to build effective and productive working relationships with internal partners and Rioters, at all levels of the organization. You will work alongside Talent Partners, embedded on product teams, to help drive action through a consultative approach in areas such as promotions, succession and organization planning, talent assessment, and change management.
